A sampler from earlier’s shoot–a pre-nup for a good friend, Ariane Saquilayan. Superb make-up by Aila Apolo.

23 Wishes | Niccolo Cosme says Justice
Day Four:
“Justice”
-Niccolo Cosme, Fashion photographer and Headhunter
Yes. My boss, headshotmeister and known fashion photographer, Niccolo Cosme, utters justice for his Christmas wish.
Who wouldn’t long for justice at this perfect time. We all have been victims of injustice in so many ways, and right now, all eyes are on the Maguindanao massacre.
Let us join Niccolo Cosme in shouting justice, not just for the Maguindanao victims, but also for us.
**PS: One thing about this picture, it is quite unnerving to shoot a headshot of a person who specializes in this field. It’s like trying to formulate a new theory with Albert Einstein.
It has always been man’s sin. It has always been man’s weakness.
Man’s strength nullified.

It is not an apple. It was never an apple.
Whoever said it was an apple?
Apple? Why apple?

Here’s Jay Ar Igno, this time portraying man’s downfall. According to the Good Book, it was the woman who tempted man to taste the insatiable Fruit of Knowledge and Wisdom, but why didn’t he resist? Because it has always been his flaw.

I think this is Jacque’s shot, and my post process.
This is the second set of Ariane Saquilayan. Well, she has the other pics of the set and this is just a part of it. The concept is simply a geisha, taking back to the olden days when pictures are not yet in fashion and paintings are in. Painting-like treatment done in Photoshop too.
